Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

Anne works from a Gestalt psychotherapy perspective, a humanistic and relational approach that focuses on increasing self–awareness, deepening understanding, and supporting authentic connection with self and others. Anne believes that our past experiences can sometimes shape our sense of self, limiting how we connect with others, cope with life’s challenges, and make choices in the present. With a compassionate blend of gentle challenge and support, Anne helps clients to notice their patterns, develop greater awareness, and choose new ways of responding to themselves and others. Anne may sometimes work creatively using imagery, dreams and elements of art therapy to support emotional exploration and self-expression. Anne has a particular interest in somatic awareness and how the body holds emotional experience. Anne believes that reconnecting with the body can be a powerful pathway towards healing and authenticity.
